DESCRIPTION

This object serves as a parser for ipcress data, creating a Bio::SeqFeatureI for each ipcress hit. These can be processed or added as annotation to an existing Bio::SeqI object for the purposes of automated annotation.

This module is adapted from the Bio::Tools::EPCR module written by Jason Stajich (jason-at-bioperl.org).

Ipcress is available through Guy Slater's Exonerate package http://www.ebi.ac.uk/~guy/exonerate/

Support

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

bioperl-l@bioperl.org

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

new

Title : new
Usage : my $ipcress = Bio::Tools::ipcress->new(-file => $file,
-primary => $fprimary,
-source => $fsource,
-groupclass => $fgroupclass);
Function: Initializes a new ipcress parser
Returns : Bio::Tools::ipcress
Args : -fh => filehandle
OR
-file => filename
-primary => a string to be used as the common value for
each features '-primary' tag. Defaults to
the sequence ontology term 'PCR_product'.
(This in turn maps to the GFF 'type'
tag (aka 'method')).
-source => a string to be used as the common value for
each features '-source' tag. Defaults to
'ipcress'. (This in turn maps to the GFF 'source'
tag)
-groupclass => a string to be used as the name of the tag
which will hold the sts marker namefirst
attribute. Defaults to 'name'.

next_feature

Title : next_feature
Usage : $seqfeature = $obj->next_feature();
Function: Returns the next feature available in the analysis result, or
undef if there are no more features.
Example :
Returns : A Bio::SeqFeatureI implementing object, or undef if there are no
more features.
Args : none
